  1. Has anyone seen the 1996 soap 'Sweat'? This from the ABC News site
    about Heath Ledger, found dead today:

    "Ledger first came to prominence by acting as a homosexual athlete in
    the little-known Australian series Sweat in 1996.

    He played a gay cyclist in the soap, set at the Western Australian
    Institute of Sport.

    The creator and writer of the series, John Rapsey, says it was clear
    that Ledger - then a 16-year-old sports champion and high school
    dropout - possessed an unusual talent.

    "He himself had absolutely no problem playing the role. He handled all
    of that with great aplomb," Rapsey told AFP.

    "What was noticeable about him was he was concentrated, very quiet,
    and you could see that he was really observant of other people.""

  2. Didn't see that, but really liked Blackrock & Two Hands. While hardly a fan I thought he was bloody terrific. What a waste. 🙁

    the latest report I just heard indicates that Mr Ledger was taking
    medication for pneumonia
    the effects of pneumonia and the required medication is heavy [censored]
    indeed
    as SWMBO discovered recently when a week away in Brisvegas turned into
    an intro to emergency care in the Qld hospital system and an enforced
    eight week 'holiday'
    before she was allowed to fly back to Addleaid !
